Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Dexter Lawrence
Controls the point of attack and doesn't move. Third year in the Clemson defensive front. The first one came in 2018: All-America (AFCA). One game to point at: 5 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss against Pittsburgh — Week 14, 2018.
Play style
The heaviest frame on the interior. Sack production is intentionally not the point of this profile.

What the box score actually says
32 tackles. 3 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 6.5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
